Effects of White Noise on Off-Task Behavior and Academic Responding for Children with ADHD
Cook, Andrew; Bradley-Johnson, Sharon; Johnson, C. Merle
Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v47 n1 p160-164 Spr 2014
We evaluated the effects of white noise played through headphones on off-task behavior, percentage of items completed, and percentage of items completed correctly for 3 students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Headphones plus white noise were associated with decreases in off-task behavior relative to baseline and headphones-only (no white noise) control conditions. Little change in academic responding occurred across conditions for all participants.
